Vietnam offers travellers a captivating blend of ancient traditions and breathtaking landscapes. From the bustling streets of Hanoi to the serene beauty of Ha Long Bay with its limestone karsts rising from emerald waters, this Southeast Asian gem has something for everyone. History enthusiasts will appreciate the Cu Chi Tunnels near Ho Chi Minh City and the Imperial City in Hue, while food lovers can sample authentic pho and banh mi from street vendors. The country celebrates several annual festivals, including Tet (Vietnamese New Year) in January or February and the Mid-Autumn Festival with its colourful lanterns and mooncakes. Vietnam's coastal location makes it an excellent starting point for ferry trips to nearby destinations. From Phu Quoc Island, you can catch ferries to Cambodia, while from Ha Long Bay, boats connect to various islands in the bay. Vietnam's unique charm and accessibility make it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Southeast Asia.
Cambodia, with its rich cultural heritage and stunning landscapes, offers a unique experience for travellers. The iconic Angkor Wat temple complex near Siem Reap stands as the world's largest religious monument and a testament to the powerful Khmer Empire. Beyond this UNESCO World Heritage site, visitors can explore the vibrant capital city of Phnom Penh with its Royal Palace and National Museum. The coastal town of Sihanoukville provides beautiful beaches and access to pristine islands. Throughout the year, Cambodia celebrates colourful festivals including Bon Om Touk (Water Festival) in November, which marks the reversal of flow in the Tonle Sap River. While Cambodia has limited international ferry services, travellers can easily connect to Thailand via boat services across the Gulf of Thailand, or reach Vietnam through Mekong River cruises, making it a perfect addition to a broader Southeast Asian journey.
